WHAT YOU SAY

[This page is closed to new input. --Ed.]

After reading what "Big Pimpin', Asian style" said, I just can't help but laugh. It's true, so true that most non-Asians think that Asians are not into sex. But I'm here to say, as a non-Asian, that simply is not true. If an Asian man is alone with his woman, and if teased just so, or you give him that certain look (like, yes, I brought you here to be alone for a reason), believe me, that man will turn into a sex crazed animal. They are so passionate. All men can be turned on, no matter what ethnicity. Some men show how passionate they can be (or think they can be), while others leave you wondering. With Asian men, it's keep under tight control, barely peeking its head to the surface, but when they let go, it's like a volcano has erupted!!!! It's explosive, wild, and so unpredictable. It's amazing how a little tap can open such a gate of overwhelming sensations/passion. Asian men can make a woman have orgasm after orgasm after orgasm (they can keep going, while you're just like, "he's just going to kill me with pleasure." Or, "I'm not going to be able to walk in the morning"). Ladies, give them a chance, you'll be happy, and I mean, HAPPY, you did.

What stereotype bothers me the most? That non-Asians would think that Asian guys are sexless. I guess I have a huge complex about it, so I act like a dirty dog, especially to prove to non-Asian chicks that I've got some state of the art equipment in my pants. I am an admitted sex addict.

Be proud of who you are and rep to the fullest. Hamo/Pinoy. Be trend-makers cuz we have potential to mix with the Black and White America. Give them another reason to stereotype us (in a good way and bad might not be so bad).

Right on AM-17! If you can't beat them, bash their heads in. I know violence isn't always the answer but you get my round of applause.*clapping*

Here are some stereotypes of Asian women which get to me:

1. She's a golddigger. Oh, and there are no white women who marry guys for money and prestige? And tell me, which culture developed the idea of 'conspicuous consumption'? Who came up with the idea of overpriced designer goods? The Chinese? The Japanese? Koreans? Or was it maybe the French and Italians???? (BTW, most of the women I see carrying logo bags are WHITE.)

2. Asian women are not feminist. Guys, this is shit crapped out from white guys who want to keep us submissive and white girls who are somehow jealous that we're *taking over their men*. Yeah, right. A lot of Asian women have no problems dealing with math and science and were pursuing M.D.s far before white women were. Sciences are not seen as necessarily 'masculine' and we know if men can handle it, we can too. (OK, maybe not for this humanities girl, but you get my drift.) Quite a lot of Asian women have also been pursuing politics in their native countries before white women were stepping into Congress and House of Commons. And lastly, martial arts movies with ass-kicking females have already been part of Asian film culture. We didn't have to wait until the 90s for the advent of 'white girl power'. We always had it and always will.

3. Double standards for white and Asian women. Somehow, if a white woman is attractive and intelligent, the media likes to say 'Wow! Brains and a natural leggy blonde! What perfection!" But if it's an Asian woman who's attractive and talented, all of a sudden it's 'Asian women have no problems taking advantage of their looks to get ahead.' Such was said about the violinist Vanessa Mae. But maybe, of course, this was written by a double-digit-sized forty-year-old bleach-blonde journalist desperately fighting wrinkles for whom a young, nubile teenage sensation is a threat. Yet white women don't mind the notion of marketing themselves when they reach for the bleach, get surgery and liposuction for that all-important promotion, or even a new wardrobe and makeover for a new job or promotion, somehow that's acceptable. As if they didn't rely on looks.

4. Asian women are short and have got no figures. Hey, time to get a new prescription, folks. There are more and more Asian women over 5'6". I see at least a few a day in Chicago--even if the majority of Asian women are under 5'3" (especially if they're over 40.) And a lot of us are well-proportioned legwise, thank you very much. OK, maybe none of us are ever going to be ZZ on top. Or come even close to the once-silicone enhanced Dolly Parton. But hey, clothes look better on us.

White boys suck at basketball. They simply can not jump worth a lick. They are fun to beat at basketball, and just about everything else. If they want to take a jump shot, you just go up and block their shots into the stands, and if they want to guard you, you only have to give them a little cross over and walk your way to the hoop. But enough about my exploits...We are not all small, we're not all nerds, we do not always sport a pair of glasses, we do not necessarily know kung fu, and we do not necessarily speak in a broken accent.

AM, 17- WHOA! Quite a story! Did you live in a place with very few Asians?

To all of you recent posters,

Keep up the good work! You're all collectively defying the 'me chinaman, proud to serve big whitey' stereotype. There are lots of foolish people who think that if they shut up, others--namely, bigoted whites--will go away. Not true. They'll only take more advantage of you. It seems that this is the lesson each of us has been learning.

As a 'dominatrix'(heh heh heh), I'd like to say--keep whipping away, folks!!

I slapped a white girl into submission at a party last week because she was openly disrespecting me. I thought she got what she deserved; some girls thought I was a sexist pig. IS that because I am Asian? If I don't stand upto people, I"m a wuss, but if I do and show them their place, then I'm a sexist Asian pig. I just can't win.

I remember a time when a white boy tried to grind me down on the basketball court. He was a bully in my Junior highschool, and I was one of his favorite targets. I snapped, and I threw the basketball in his face, breaking his already huge, ugly nose. I could see the blood SPRAY as the ball made impact. Then I got on top of him and beat the shit out of him. I almost got expelled, but that piece of shit was my bitch for the rest of the year. He moved away just before graduating.

Asian Dominatrix,
I like your style!

from another fan of yours,

The stereotype that asian men have small penises. I am japanese and my penis is thick and long.

Chinese cdn girl,

This is the way the insecure white male sees it:

If a WM is assertive, he's...well, assertive. Strong. A model for humanity.

If a WF is assertive, she's a BITCH. A big-mouthed WHORE.

If an AF is assertive, she's a fucking DRAGON LADY BITCH.

And AM? For the WM, he simply *doesn't exist*.

I know exactly what you're talking about especially since Canada is somewhat British. When I shoot my mouth back in England, where non-whites are supposed to be quiet, I get told that I'm 'threatening' and 'intimidating.' LOL, I got told this by one 6'7" guy--even tho' I'm 14" shorter than him and probably less half his weight! So much for great white British male courage.

Americans are a little better about retaliation. I remember pulling a patch of hair out from a boy way back in jr. high (after he repeatedly called me 'chink') but the (male) phys ed assistant teacher looked the other way. You can bet that boy never called me names or touched me after that. The only way to fight bullies is to bully back--because bullies are the biggest cowards!
